Hotel Fox takes branding, travel and art to new levels. If you’re looking for inspiring places to stay, this is definitely one of them. A few years ago, for the launch of the new Volkswagen Fox, 21 international artists from the fields of graphic design, urban art and illustration turned one of Copenhagen’s hotels into a creative lifestyle destination.

With 61 rooms acting like blank canvases, the 21 commissioned artists designed each room with their unique expression. As the HF site describes, “Each room is an individual piece of art. From whacky comical styles to strict graphic design. From fantastic street art and Japanese Manga to simply spaced out fantasies. You will find flowers, fairy-tales, friendly monsters, dreaming creatures, secrets vaults and more.”

Below, Project Fox describes a few of the rooms:

Imagining dreams. Chisato’s inspiration came from her homeland of Hokkaido in the north of Japan: “There is a lot of nature and countryside there. There are four distinct seasons to the year and there is a lot of snow in winter. – ‘Yume’ means dream in Japanese. I hope that you dream your own story when you sleep in this room, inspired by the wallpaper that I drew. Have a wonderful dream.”

About Chisato The Japanese illustrator Shinya Chisato creates little fantasy fairy-tale worlds with a minimal palette of harmonious and discrete forms. The symmetry and balance to be found in her work is very much part of the great graphic tradition of her country. Kinpro designs primarily for magazines and the advertising industry. She has worked for Nike and designed wallpapers for the Maxalot Exposif collection. She is perhaps best known in Japan for her Curione character for The Hokkaido Shimbun Press.

Larger than life. WK Interact describes his room designs as being “like a flip book in motion”. He was interested in “feeling the space” rather than just coming up with paintings for the walls. “Last night my kisses were banked in black hair / And in my bed, my lover, her hair was midnight black / And all her mystery dwelled within her black hair / And her black hair framed a happy heart-shaped face…” Nick Cave.

About WK interact The French-born artist WK interact has lived in NYC for the last 15 years and has decorated whole tracts of the city’s SoHo district with his dynamic and energetic imagery. But his black and white speeding figures simply do not allow themselves to be tied down to one place: they are permanently on the move; pushing, stumbling and running through the sprawling metropolis. This dynamic energy is also reflected in WK interact’s commissioned work for the likes of Adidas, BMW, Yamaha and Burton.
